End in sight for 3,000 awaiting power

Toronto Hydro says around 3,000 customers remain without power after last weekend’s ice storm. These are cases of isolated line breaks, the so-called one-off among homes without power.  The cost of repairs and clean up after the storm is becoming clearer. Mayor Rob Ford said the cost to Toronto Hydro is approximately $1 million per day, with the final projected tally between $8-10 million. “These are rough numbers,” Ford said. The mayor is calling for a special city council meeting on Friday, Jan. 10 to ask the province for financial compensation.
